Less than 24 hours post Hysteroscopy, D&C & HTA

Less than 24 hours post Hysteroscopy, D&C & HTA

I had my HTA procedure done yesterday. It hasn't even been 24 hours and I'm feeling surprisingly well! Everything went well, as far as I know. At least compared to a year ago when I went in for a Novasure ablation and woke up from anesthesia having only had a D&C because my uterus was too small for Novasure!

The cramping was constant and pretty painful from the time I woke up in recovery until several hours later. I kept it under control with Norco, which they gave me in recovery, and Percocet when I got home. I had to take 3 total from the time I got home until I went to sleep...which was around midnight. It's now the next morning and the cramping seems to be gone.

As for the discharge...it is changing quite rapidly! The first couple hours looked like something from a horror movie! But then it became more watery (but still pretty red), and now it's still watery but a very faint pink in color. I have to wear 2 pads when I'm lying down for when I feel it running down my back side, lol.

Anyway, that's all I've got for now. As with most procedures (for me) the worst part was getting the IV in! It took 3 attempts by 3 different nurses and it was more painful than the procedure itself. I told them to stay away from my hands but they just wouldn't listen!

Hi Jennrobin! Congratulations! It's good to hear that your procedures went smoothly this time around. Just remember to take it easy for at least the first week even if you are feeling fine. I remember cleaning the house and cooking a few days after my ablation and feeling very sore, like I had just done hundreds of sit-ups. The discharge does change rapidly. Don't be surprised to find red, brown, yellow, pink and even orangey colors. I know what you mean about the IV hurting more than the actual procedure. I had a huge bruise on my hand for over two weeks in the spot where the nurse poked a valve. She apologized, took it out and reinserted the IV on the same hand that was already hurting. owwwww! Wishing you a quick and healthy recovery!
